P. 134

To correct this program, we will have to define the numbers as integer values. Let us look
                  at the program below:










           Prime (Ver. 2.2)-VI  In the above program, the int( ) function is used to change the data type from string to

                                                           Using int() Function



                  integer.

                  Similarly,  to  use,  float,  we  will  need  to  change  the  data  type  from  string  to  float:
                  X= float(input(“enter any number”)).

                     The type( ) Function


                  The type() function in Python is used to determine the data type of a given value. It returns
                  the class type of the input, allowing you to check what kind of data type is being used. This

                  is useful when you're unsure of the type of a value or variable.
                  Let us see an example:















                                                          Using type( ) Function


                          Fun         The type( ) function recognises “quotation” marks for string values. If
                          Fact!       an integer value is written in quotation marks, it will consider the type as
                                      String.



                    Variables in Python


                  In Python, variables are like containers used to store data. They hold values that we might
                  need later in our program. When we want to use the stored values, we can simply refer to
                  the variable's name to get the data back.
